The BGS collections of borehole records, borehole materials and site investigation reports are maintained by the NGDC to underpin BGS core activities. They also provide a valuable service to industry.
Most of the collections are part of the public record and are made available through a not-for-profit cost enquiry service.
The growth and enhancement of the collections depends upon continued data donations. The Survey has statutory rights of access to records, core and various samples from boreholes drilled to depths greater than 30m for mineral exploration and 15m for water supply assessment. Data from investigations of shallower depth are also voluntarily deposited.
